Lennart, have you read my email ?
I did ask eaxctly this: make it easier to discover the new feature.
Please read the last part of my email (feel free to skip 1. and 2.
paragraphs).

Please do, it is *very* important, and the same goes for any other
change.
I would say you should *start* with the readme and then do the change,
that will put down the plan and then it's done (as long as you do not
change the plan in the course of action and forget to update the bread
crubs :-) There is nothing worse than a false trail ;)

Simo.
